"I just heard someone say you don't have much stamina." Zhang Fan's divine sense could easily cover the entire Cape of Esby, so he naturally heard the discussions among various factions.
Therefore, when he heard the Italian mafia member named Gerard say that Yifei City lacked stamina, he almost couldn't help but laugh.
"Who!" Yifei City's face instantly darkened. Following the direction of Zhang Fan's finger, his gaze fell on Gerard, a man with long hair like flowing water.
At this moment, the smile on Gerard's face had not yet faded. Seeing this, Yifei City felt a surge of anger.
"Hmph, I'll let this guy know later who has more stamina!" Yifei City said with a grim expression.
Seeing this, Ye Jing quickly stepped forward, took Yifei City's hand, and comforted him.
Hearing the conversation between Zhang Fan and Yifei City, everyone else couldn't help but laugh. Li Qin and her two junior fellow students felt it was somewhat amusing while also being very surprised.
They had originally thought that the world faction competition arena would be very serious, the kind where one wouldn't dare to breathe too loudly. However, it seemed that was not the case.
Only Zhao Qingqing, upon hearing such a slightly sensitive topic, had her delicate face blush slightly, clearly still too innocent.
...
"Brother, please make sure to kill him later and avenge Brother Cook and Uncle Wang."
At the gathering place of the Big Circle Gang, Betty, with her head full of silver hair, stared intently at Yifei City, gritting her teeth.
"That guy is actually mixed with those useless people from the Green Gang and the Hongmen. It seems he intentionally killed Cook in the ring."
"Very well, this time we'll let all the participants from the Chinese side stay here, so they know that my Big Circle Gang is not to be trifled with." Standing beside the silver-haired woman Betty was a man with short silver hair. He bore some resemblance to Betty, making it easy to guess they were siblings.
This short-haired silver-haired man was Betty's elder brother, Bell.
And he was also the strongest among the Big Circle Gang's participants this time, even Cook was a notch weaker than him.
...
"Sister Ailebella, I can't believe you actually came. I didn't dare to believe it when those people told me earlier." Just as Zhang Fan and the others were chatting, an incredibly ethereal and beautiful voice suddenly sounded. Then, everyone saw a fiery red figure flash by and rush into Ailebella's embrace.
"Isabella..." Upon seeing this girl, Ailebella's exceptionally beautiful face couldn't help but show a hint of joy. She held her in her arms, gently stroking her back, appearing very doting.
After a long while, the girl finally detached herself from Ailebella's embrace and stood beside her, intimately holding Ailebella's arm, looking very happy.
At this moment, everyone else took a closer look at the girl.
The young girl appeared to be around sixteen years old, wearing a fiery red short skirt, which bore some similarity to Ailebella's style.
Although young, her chest had already begun to develop, her skin was like snow, and her dark hair cascaded down to her waist. Nearly 1.7 meters tall, her long, slender legs were unreservedly displayed before everyone, her playful movements carrying a suffocating allure.
At just fifteen or sixteen, she already possessed such charm. It was hard to imagine that in a few years, she might grow into an enchanting creature with boundless allure like Ailebella.
"Sister Ailebella, what have you been doing lately? You haven't come to see me in a long time." The girl pouted, saying with some dissatisfaction.
"Aren't I here to see you today?" Ailebella gently stroked the girl's long hair and said with a smile.
"You're lying."
The girl said, but did not dwell on the topic and continued, "Sister Ailebella, are you planning to participate in this faction competition again?"
"Hehe, with Sister Ailebella's strength, those guys from the world factions will probably suffer again this time."
"No, I'm just accompanying a friend to watch, I don't plan to compete." Ailebella shook her head.
"Friend?"
The girl was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected Sister Ailebella to have friends, so she curiously turned her head, her gaze sweeping over Zhang Fan and his group.
Her eyes were incredibly pure, and they quickly passed over everyone, appearing very calm. Only when she saw Zhang Fan did a flicker of curiosity flash in her deep blue eyes.
"Sister Ailebella's friends are all very powerful. I'm afraid I can't beat a few of them," the little girl said to Ailebella with innocent charm.
Coming from a girl of fifteen or sixteen, this statement should have been amusing, but Yifei City and the others couldn't laugh.
Because they were shocked to discover that this girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen, possessed an energy so immense that even they, being at the Saint Domain realm, felt astonished.
"Isabella is a half-blood human. Her mother was a senior among our Blood Clan, and her father is the current leader of the Extraordinary Alliance. However, an accident occurred at Isabella's birth, and her mother passed away."
"The immense energy within Isabella comes from her mother..." Ailebella said softly.
Everyone understood. So, her powerful energy wasn't from her own cultivation. Isabella's energy was so great that it surpassed ordinary saints. If it were from her own cultivation, then the geniuses present would truly feel ashamed of themselves.
However, even so, it was still quite shocking. After all, to be able to withstand energy exceeding that of ordinary saints at such a young age was enough to prove her extraordinary nature.
After Isabella came from the Extraordinary Alliance's side, she didn't seem to intend to leave. After a few words with Ailebella, she stood quietly to the side, holding Ailebella's arm, appearing very well-behaved.
...
"Calling out participants from a faction!"
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the faction competition alliance finally truly began.
A middle-aged man in a white formal suit, stepping on empty air, stood outside the Cape of Esby and said to the crowd.
Zhao Qingqing had long witnessed Zhang Fan's many divine abilities, so she remained quite calm upon seeing someone walk on air.
However, her two classmates and senior fellow student were seeing it for the first time. They were incredibly surprised that someone could truly walk on air as in the legends.
Li Qin, due to her excitement and shock, couldn't help but let out a cry, attracting curious glances from all sides.
"Senior sister, calm down," Zhao Qingqing quickly pulled Li Qin back.
The competition process was not complicated and was divided into two parts. The first part was a free-for-all among all participants of each faction, ranked by the order of elimination.
The second part was a challenge match. If one felt their ranking did not match their strength, they could issue a challenge to other factions. If they could defeat all three of their participants, they could replace their ranking.
